"Make In India" Promises Growth In Corporate Real Estate Profession

New Report Released by CoreNet Global; 4th Annual India Conference Will Be Held in Bangalore 21 June 2017

ATLANTA — India's campaign to increase manufacturing in the country is showing dividends for the corporate real estate community, according to a new report released by CoreNet Global, Make in India: A Manufacturing Initiative.

"Make in India" is a government initiative to encourage additional manufacturing by creating an environment conducive to its growth and development. The aim is to increase manufacturing's share of GDP from 16 percent (where it has remained stagnant for a few years) to 25 percent, and create an additional 100 million manufacturing jobs by 2022.

The Make in India initiative was introduced in 2014 and implemented several intertwining policies that would enable manufacturing and industry to grow, including Digital India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Smart Cities and Start-Up India.

Since the announcement of the "Make in India" and related initiatives, there has been an influx of companies signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) or starting operations in the country:

Huawei invested 170 million USD to build a R&D center in Bengaluru

Hyundai partnered with local company Hindustan Shipyard Limited to manufacture naval ships in India

Mercedes Benz doubled its output capacity by opening a second manufacturing facility in Chakan, near Pune city

Foxconn, which supplies to Apple, will be investing 5 billion USD into a semi-conductor manufacturing facility

Schneider Electric plans to invest 110 million USD over the next five years. The plans include skill development and making its India facilities part of its global supply chain by using it as an export hub.

In addition to companies boosting their investment, countries such as Japan and Germany have shown interest. For example, Japan plans to set up a 12 billion USD fund for projects related to Make in India. Similarly, several MoUs have been signed between India and Germany to fast-track investment by German companies and make it easier for them to conduct business in India.

With the anticipated increase in manufacturing investment, there is an expected uptick seen in the demand for related real estate. Not only will this be for warehouses and manufacturing space, but there will also be an increased demand for office space to house those being employed by the new manufacturing facilities. Similarly, there should be growth in retail space in order to showcase the goods being produced.
